Our daughter has a male dog that is about 85 lbs at less than a year. Thing is part Pyrenees. Wilson is about as chill as a dog can be, but he sure commands a lot of space. And, when he acts like a dog, he acts like a big dog. She wanted a mid-sized mix rescue, but ended up with him. It gives me some comfort knowing that when she is out with him at the park, etc., nobody is going to jack with her without shooting him first. While kind and laid back, he is protective of her.
Little Willie -
We have a very small 9 pounder that takes very little space, and when she acts like a dog the consequences are not nearly as big. She's afraid of her own shadow, and when she barks it's with her tail wagging. Don't think she's ever bared her teeth with a growl. Works for us.
